"President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid."

I can’t I give up. I’m Canadian and America is fucked. There are no policies, no plans to make projects or fix problems. It’s all a campaign and political points. This is just pure trash satire at this point. URGH

I thought he was broke and about to go to jail unless he became president and illegally stopped all investigations against him. So that he could again go to golf orgies where he could be a pedo. But okay.....

I'm sorry ma'am, the cash register is broken!

Oh I'm sorry, I don't have change for a hundred

Oh sir, we only accept 20's or lower currency. It's for our safety!

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

It has been since 2017 when he took office. Satire is dead.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 33 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

Brought to you by dipshit conservatives.

Do you know about Andrew Jackson's behavior?

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

For all of his many flaws, I don't think Jackson was an agent of a foreign power.

Even so, there are places in Oklahoma where a 20 isn't considered valid currency.

Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

From my experience travelling the world, that's not particularly uncommon. The US doesn't have to feel singled out for having such people on their bank notes.

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 19 points 7 hours ago

I'd rather see George Clooney's asshole on the 100. Put this fuckers ugly face on the ruble.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Why stop there? Why not just call the whole country the United States of Trump?

/s

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 33 points 10 hours ago

Shouldn't Trump be on the ruble?

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I thought there already was a law stating living persons cannot be placed on currency. Am I not correct?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 hours ago

a what? that word....llllaaaaawwwww can't say I'm familiar with it,

must be some kind of old term that applied to presidents before the current godking....

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

All about the trumps just doesn't slap like Benjamins. All about the trumps sounds like a nightmare of a reality show

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

All about the trumps sounds like a nightmare of a reality show

All About The Trumps sounds like our actual reality.

Because America is too weak to put a felon rapist traitor and his Beverly Hillbilly family behind us.

I now KNOW what Conservatives will do when they FINALLY get Epstein's BLACK BOOK!

Put the People on CURRENCY!

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 21 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's all just ring-polishing stuff to openly declare fealty to him.

Same as the third term stuff.

They don't actually care if it works, only that they have proof of it to show him down the road.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

The dogs in the back of the pack.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 42 points 14 hours ago (6 children)

This was absolutely on my 2025 bingo card along with plans for a new face on Mount Rushmore and a mountain, river, or national park being named after him.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

Shhh he doesn't need any help with ideas

[–] constant_liability@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Are there any landfills or garbage islands in the oceans that still need names? Trump’s name would go perfectly on them

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

I'm naming a toilet bowl after him.

MASA, Make America Shit Again!

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago

I fear that Trump toilets are too shitty of a product to work...

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'm too afraid the orange will wear off on my ass so I'll be shitting in the woods.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

OMG !!! Ass did not change into a** !! THANK YOU lemmy.world

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago

I've seen 3D printed Mount Rushmore replicas that have trump as a 5th face.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's gonna be tough when he gets rid of all of the park rangers.

[–] lunsjentilanette@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

He will just make a mcdonalds a national park and name that after himself

[–] ozoned@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

You forgot Constitutional Amendment to allow a 3rd term.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

I think they have syphilis and being obese in common

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 27 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I thought only deceased people with a positive influence on society could end up on money. The latter requirement will never happen, and the way he acts many will think it's about time the met the first requirment.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Sadly that changed with the Presidential Quarters. They minted them as legal tender for all presidents up to the then current president George W. Bush.

[–] Archelon@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah unfortunately Andrew Jackson’s still on money so…

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 5 points 12 hours ago

Guy who dissolved America's Bank on the 20. Guy who started it on the 10.

Guy who won a lot of duels on the 20. Guy who died in one on the 10.

Guy who started the New York manumission society and went on to trade slaves for his father in law on the ten, guy who did an unconstitutional and judicially rejected genocide on the 20.

Supposedly the smaller notes are the higher honor but the way the US works I'm not sure that's true.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 31 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.

Or he could, ya know, die.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Well, congress knows what to do now to get him on the bill. Just need an execution rider.

[–] neuro_88@lemm.ee 12 points 12 hours ago

That’s scary.

[–] Kcap@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I can already hear one of those terrible Trump rappers like Forgiato Blow making a maga themed "it's all about the Donalds baby" parody song. And it would probably gets millions of streams too. Ugh.

[–] Estimator0533@lemmynsfw.com 29 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Idiots! Should have made a brand new $500 bill for this! Would work out a lot better with inflation. Great for buying eggs.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 11 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Musk can be the $1,000,000 bill in Weimer America, suitable for buying a single omelet.

Ahh yes, Benjamin Franklin, founding father, inventor of the bifocals, lightning rod, and Franklin stove, first postmaster general, founder of the University of Pennsylvania, signed the constitution and the declaration of independence along with drafting the latter. Definitely not nearly as important to this country as Donald Trump, who is singlehandedly keeping the orange spray tan market alive.
